hay, sorry for all the problems. I got ahold of winiso, and extracted the immage to a folder. I coppied and pasted to my writable cd folder, and then burned the cd... boom, things seem to be working... sorta. I have a question though, when I try to use the boot disk, it says boot failed, and then returns me to the same old prompt we have been talking about. Is this thing rigged to go to drive d? if so, how do I set my jumper to one hard drive? I have two harddrives in that computer, and think that might be the problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Moore" <tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2006 9:50 PM Subject: Re: help with install of debian and speakup!? > The problem he had was the image he downloaded wasn't burned to the cd > properly so we still don't know yet if there's a problem with his bios or > not. > I suspect that once the image is burned properly things will work as > expected. > Also he'll probably want to do a bit of reading of the install manual so > that he'll know what to expect, or he can take it the way I did it nad > install a few times til you get things the way you like. > From what I can tell he is a young man and even though he is having > problems > early in the game I feel he will probably have something to offer the > community in some way down the road. > > Tom > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Tyler Littlefield" <compgeek13 at gmail.com> > To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." > <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> > Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2006 10:36 PM > Subject: Re: help with install of debian and speakup!? > > >> am still doing debian...
